Peter Zijlstra 37f8173dd8 locking/atomics: Flip fallbacks and instrumentation
Currently instrumentation of atomic primitives is done at the architecture
level, while composites or fallbacks are provided at the generic level.

The result is that there are no uninstrumented variants of the
fallbacks. Since there is now need of such variants to isolate text poke
from any form of instrumentation invert this ordering.

Doing this means moving the instrumentation into the generic code as
well as having (for now) two variants of the fallbacks.

Notes:

 - the various *cond_read* primitives are not proper fallbacks
   and got moved into linux/atomic.c. No arch_ variants are
   generated because the base primitives smp_cond_load*()
   are instrumented.

 - once all architectures are moved over to arch_atomic_ one of the
   fallback variants can be removed and some 2300 lines reclaimed.

 - atomic_{read,set}*() are no longer double-instrumented

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
